From Grindleford you need the turn off the B6521 for the B6001 Hathersage, you then need the immediate left turn up Sir William Hill road, follow this for around 1.5 km till the road turns to the left, you'll see a a rough unsurfaced road by this turn in front of you, park up by the bottom of this road.
Climb the stile, the lower one of the two and ignore the path you can see to your right, walk straight ahead and you should see another very narrow path in front of you, it can become overgrown and difficult to see at times, you will have to push your way through the heather but after a short while though not obvious the path should be quite easy to follow, it does seemingly disappear now and then but if you keep heading in a Northerly direction you should pick it up again, you need to follow this for around half a kilometre till it veers off in a long arc to the West, your left.
Stay on the same path but now start looking for the Barrow downhill to the North, if you don't have a compass (you should) look at around the "2 0 clock" direction for a large pile and scatter of rocks about 200 metres distant, once you spot the barrow head off the path and make your way towards it, you'll pass through Wet Withens circle on your way to it.
Whilst at the barrow look for the cup marked stone that lays upon it, it lays where the barrow is at it's nearest point to the circle.
There are other routes to the site including one from the path by Eyam Moor 1 & 2, you'll need to set a bearing and be able to follow it uphill through the dense heather though, another alternative is to set a bearing from Eyam Moor / Stanage Barrow cup marked stone and follow that downhill, having done all 3 routes i find the one described above the easiest all round, though by it's ditch like nature the route can be very boggy especially in winter.
NOTE: In the pic below is a ministry of works sing that sadly has now disappeared, a pity as it did help with locating the barrow.
